Hugo Viana looks likely to return to the starting line-up for Wednesday night's clash with Zeljeznicar with United set to revert to a 4-4-2. Hugo Viana looks likely to return to the starting line-up for Wednesday night's clash with Zeljeznicar with United set to revert to a 4-4-2.

Either Gary Speed or Jermaine Jenas will miss out at St James' Park in the only change from the line-up which lost at Manchester City on Saturday.

Sir Bobby Robson, however, is almost certain to revert to his more usual 4-4-2 formation after heavy criticism of the 3-5-2 tactics which failed at Maine Road.

Meanwhile, Shay Given has warned his team-mates that Champions League defeat would be "disastrous". The Newcastle keeper is well aware what qualification for Europe's top competition would mean to the Geordie public - not to mention the small matter of £15m in revenue.

United - already 1-0 up from the first leg against the Bosnian outfit - are clear favourites to complete the task at St James' Park, but Given has declared there is no room for complacency.

"If we don't get through now, it's a disaster," he insisted. "It's vitally important that we get through this tie and we know what is at stake.

"It's a massive game and the pressure is on us, but we have to deal with that and get the result.
"It's going to be a tough game and at 1-0 the tie is still wide open - it's up to us to kill it off."
